Guest pop-notmyface Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 i'd avoid MS Frontpage. but go for something like Serif Webplus. if you need a copy of that, i can borrow/give it to you. you only need to install it once and then it works fine from there on.

Frontpage 2003 is a decent enough package.yeah, but on the visual side, i don't think it is very good. you might get good results if you're good with your HTML coding and know what you're doing.

rowan Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Cascading Style Sheets -CSSThis is basiclly the skin of your Web-page, and the content would be the bones if you were! The CSS determints general issues such as font size/colour, backgound image/colour etc basically how the things gonna look.I take it your not really 100% on web design so if CSS seems alittle confusing or you cant really be bothered learning, id say stick with a program likeFIREWORKS or DREAMWEAVER There easier to use, user friendly and have none of that nasty HTML or JAVA scripting!
